Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby
A satellite receives but won't respond
The voltage drops when memory persists
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The voltage drops when memory persists
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
